This project is set in an unspecified location in the Middle East. It is a 70-meter by 70-meter square that would house 2 families. Each family needed a kitchen, dining room, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an office space. The challenge was to fit both families into the limited space while maintaining a mix of privacy where necessary and create social interactions between the 2 families. I focused on healthy living and gave every room access to the outdoors, creating a healthy living space and matching the courtyards of the surrounding buildings. I combined the offices to make a shared space on top of which both families can gather. The office in the center also blocks the views across the courtyard which allows each family to maintain their privacy.
